Tina and Jack,
I felt compelled to write and thank you for having a forum for people of different opinions. A place where debate is welcomed and encouraged. And the only restriction I have seen you place on posts is no gratuitous profanity. I feel this compulsion, because for the second time, I have strayed onto one of the other Northern California Blog sites, This time told, begrudgingly, They have a policy against posting unoriginal thoughts which have already had enough play but that they would make an exception, once they had had a chance to form their response and post my comment.” The email I received was dripping with condescension, which I still recognize, even when someone calls me Mr. Freitas
Anywho, I digress…The irony is that these two Progressive oriented blogs, actively censer thought which does not mirror their own, while simultaneously calling anyone who doesnt agree with them fascists or dittoheads or whatever the acceptable derogatory name for a conservative is today. I will say again, that the most recent blog administrator did say he would go ahead and post my comment, the other one flat out banned me when I pointed out the legal flaw of an argument they had promulgated.
Anyway I again want to thank you for having a forum for anyone who wants put an idea forth and all you ask is that the author be prepared to back up their assertions with reason and/or facts. What a novel idea! And for those who want to take the path of least resistance and have all of your long on feelings, short on experience ideas validated without being questioned. These sites will protect you and keep you comfortable in your ignorance.
Wow, the conservatives blog doesnt censor. WHAT’S UP WITH THAT???
